The Urban Planning Department of the San Bartolomé de Tirajana City Council has opened the period for submitting contributions to the future Municipal Ordinance Regulating the Legal Regime of Residential Use in the Coastal Tourist Zone. The consultation will be open until September 4th.
The main objective of this initiative is to clarify how current regulations should be applied to the various residential situations existing in the tourist zone, in order to offer a homogeneous interpretation and increase legal certainty for both citizens and the Administration itself.
Before the final drafting of the text, the City Council wishes to gather information on the problems faced by affected individuals, the aspects they consider need clarification, and the alternatives they propose. The observations received will serve as a basis for the development of the future ordinance.
The future regulation will identify the different situations present in the tourist zone and define the applicable regulation for each case, thereby facilitating the actions of municipal services and providing comprehensible criteria for residents. This ordinance will clarify the application of current legislation while adaptation work on the planning continues.
The first deputy mayor, Alejandro Marichal, highlighted that many residents have lived for years with uncertainty regarding their homes' status and concern over potential sanctioning proceedings. He explained that the consultation will allow for the incorporation of the experience of those who habitually reside in these areas, ensuring the ordinance addresses detected situations and facilitates clearer application of current provisions.
Marichal specified that the City Council does not intend to modify urban planning or establish new rules, but rather to have a tool that allows for uniform interpretation of regulations in each case. The Councilor for Urban Planning, Davinia Ramírez, added that the ordinance's processing is the result of technical work carried out in recent months, and that initial analysis concluded that modifying the General Plan was not necessary.
During the consultation period, residents and interested entities will be able to present their difficulties, raise questions, and propose aspects they believe should be defined in the ordinance.
